The Traditional North Indian Sweet-Phirni Recipe

Instructions:

1. Soak the rice:

Wash the basmati rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 4-5 hours or overnight.

2. Make a rice paste:

Drain the soaked rice and grind it into a smooth paste, adding a little milk if needed to make a thick paste.

3. Boil the milk:

In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a boil. Stir continuously to prevent it from burning and to ensure even heating.

4. Add the rice paste:

Once the milk boils, reduce the heat and add the rice paste. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook this mixture on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens.

5. Add sugar and spices:

Once the mixture has thickened, add the sugar, saffron strands (soaked in a tablespoon of warm milk), cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.

6. For fragrance:

If using rose water or kewra water, add it now and mix well.

7. Serve:

Pour the phirni into serving bowls or earthenware pots. Garnish with chopped nuts. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set.

8. Enjoy:

Phirni tastes best when served chilled. Enjoy this delicious and creamy dessert! You can adjust the sweetness and flavor to your liking!
